Injuries in West Farmington Road crash

PEORIA — Two people were taken to a hospital Sunday night after a two-vehicle collision at an intersection on West Farmington Road, police said.

About 7:20 p.m. Sunday, a northbound car in the 700 block of North Stone School Road failed to stop at a stop sign at the Farmington Road intersection. A vehicle going east on Farmington Road tried to stop but could not avoid a collision, according to a Peoria County Sheriff's Office lieutenant.

The driver of the vehicle that went through the stop sign was transported by LifeFlight helicopter to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, while the passenger in that vehicle also was taken to a hospital, although it was not clear if that hospital was St. Francis. Their names and conditions were unavailable Sunday night.

The airbags deployed in the other vehicle. The driver declined transportation to a hospital.

Police said no tickets had been issued as of Sunday night.

Both eastbound and westbound traffic in that stretch of Farmington Road was shut down for 30 minutes while rescue crews investigated.
